i would love to see more of the classic cars from the 60.s and 70’s released on the M-chassis platform , preferably with the correct drive system, MK1 and MK2 ford escort mexico’s , saab 96 etc
all the best for 2013;-)

1– Michelin Pilot Ford Escort RS Cosworth with the rally cockpit (amazing car)…
2– top force evo black special like they did with the avante (i got it already 🙂
3–willys-wheeler on m-05 chassis
4–f104-x1-GT\LM chassis like the old f-103gt that fits touring bodysets

I REALLY hope (and wish) that Mr. T will re-re the ‘1/12 th scale Lamborghini Cheetah’…..b’coz this is the very first off roader that I fell in love with when I was a kid but had no dough to buy it!!….the other reason is that, my ‘XR311’ needs a partner, badly!!

Some people criticize tamiya re-release tradition.
I think this view by vintage collectors, whose collections are losing the uniqueness with each new re-release.
Of course, original vintage differs from re-release, but for most customers, these differences are not significant.

Bruiser was a pleasant surprise, and its chassis is still unique. Let with this chassis will be built Toyota 4×4 Pick Up and Blazing Blazer. This is good models with a high level of detail. High detail has always been a Tamiya style. Many modern manufacturers go back to that style. For example there were highly detailed miodels with roll cages by Axial and interesting chassis bu rc4wd. But notice, Tamiya did it 25 years back! Everything in this world is repeated … Highly detailed in fashion again!

Personally, I do not understand restyles of re-releases: Fast Attack Vehicle – w/Shark Mouth, Hotshot 2007 – Metallic Special, Street Rover, Avante black special and some other. Why so? But it is my opinion… Reading and looking back I see that these models also find their fans. I guess I’m getting old …

b) I want to see a new rc chassis design with realistic suspension. For example, it would be interesting to see the type of McPherson suspension. Always liked the creative solutions of chassis frog, hotshot, buggy champ, wild one and other. This was uniqueness. The era of
experiments 1980-s…

I will always support the idea of the Group B bodies!
Lancia 037 Rally
Lancia delta S4
Audi quattro
Toyota Celica Gr.B
Ford rs200
Metro 6R4 and others.
Want more attention to the rally classics. The Rally legends made ​​several such models. But the quality of their bodies…

It is interesting to see the RC chassis by Tamiya in drag racing style, formula offroad style, crawlers in “king of hammers” style, vintage dirt oval cars and “peak pikes” racing buggies.

Thanks Tamiya for Wild One. That’s one of my wish list last year. Also thanks for Celica GT4

I’m still waiting for…..
– Egress
– Monster Beetle
– Porsche 959 (with same old chassis, or new 4wd mini chassis, or even 1/10 scale on XV-01 is fine with me)
– Hilux 4×4 Pickup
Sorry that I don’t like Bruiser, I love the first Hilux 4×4 Pickup the most among the 3 Hilux’s, so I wish they release it as well.

I’m glad to see so many comments regarding Tamiya producing new rally bodyshells; my thought exactly. Having introduced the fantastic XV-01 chassis, they need to introduce a range of bodyshells; all the Group B era cars would be fantastic and I’m sure it would generate huge sales for them. Early WRC era cars too – say from 1996 -1999 would also yield good sales – I’m convinced. Essentially produce what Rally Legends has done – except for the Tamiya attention to detail factor!!! I’d also love to see the following cars, all in 1/10 scale – none of this 1/12 nonsense!

I wish Tamiya would release more Euro supercar bodies like Aventador, Veyron, McLaren F1, Murcielago, new Audi R8, Ferarri 458 and from Japan also like the Lexus LFA. I would like to also mention some re-release bodies for FF03 chassis like Toyota Celica SSi with light buckets, Mitsubishi FTO, and other front wheel drive legends.

I also wish that the next version of FF03 should have non IFS option.

Lastly I want to see Tamiya build something like a sports version of the TRF417 much like the Spec R S1 kit which uses hard composite plastics for bulkheads and FRP for chassis plates and shock stays. I think Tamiya’s interpretation of this “sports” kit will have better quality and durability plus add some TRF shocks to make it a lethal budget racer.

What I would appreciate (and buy) are RC models that come closer to the original as usual, in the way that it has a self supporting body preferably made of thin alloy, the (electric) engine is in the same position as the original, has a similar drive shaft and similar suspension as the original car. It would also be nice to have a two speed gearbox which shifts automatically. In this way, it would be nice to start with a Ford Mustang from the sixties. What I also would appreciate is a Lotus Esprit Mk 1 with the submarine feature of the famous James Bond car. As scale, I would prefer 1:8, since it will be easier to implement all features in a bigger model.

Back to the ground: It would be very nice, if TAMIYA offered a better drive train for the Bruiser as hop up, since the original gears, especially the die cast gears and punisher shafts do not stand the power of regular bl-sets.

Also keep the original box art with the reissues, perhaps with a marker of some sort indicating a reissue. The illustrated box art with white backgrounds is so iconic, and Tamiya has lost the plot on that. This needs to be reinstated.

Lastly Tamiya needs to open up their site to get people voting on the top “wishes”. I’m certain they could get down payments from people wishing to see something built. I know i would.

I’m wondering about how tamiya going to rock the vintage fans this year… or not? Everytime I saw the came back of legendary vintages, I’ve been happy… “Yay!” \\(´∀`)// then… “Hmm… time to save up again…” ¯∀¯; … Honestly, I just hope for Tamiya won’t release my wishes too fast… lol.

About the things could possibility for this year, Tamiya may keep looking closely to the new segment that gradually growing in Japan, the RWD drift chassis. It’s sounds might not so interesting because it’s not so hard to disassemble some 4WD drivetrain out then put some Axles in, and Tada! It’s now RWD.

But I think Tamiya (and another manufacturer) won’t let the trend fly away & do nothing. They maybe working for the uniquely new FR drift machine.

About personally impossible dream, I love the innovation of F201 chassis. But according to BHS articles about on-road chassis, 4WD is not for the F1 chassis, cause it led to failure. So… How about If it were revise as it should be..?

I wish to see the full-sus F1 machine come back again. Design for versatile on-road machine such F-1, Leman, fitting the very low profile Super Car bodies or even our old school Touring Car bodies too.

That’s all (for now). Happy new year everyone & Happy for whole year too.

I want a Ranger, can;t be that hard to re-issue, just needs the mounts sorting and it would be great!!
Can;t deny the super champ on my wish list either, and Lets have Willy in something other than a City Turbo…..but low slung without the oversized wheels…plenty hot hatches would suit!!

I’d like to see Tamiya produce a 1/48 and/or 1/32 scale F-82 Twin Mustang that would be much better quality than the old outdated Modelcraft model. Too many manufacturers produce it only in 1/72 and never go on to make a new 1/48 scale model. Tamiya making this would be awesome. I would like to see Tamiya also make a 1/48 scale P-38 and a P-51H along with both versions (razorback and bubbletop) of their nice P-47 in 1/32 scale. Most of all I’d like to see them produce the F-82 Twin Mustang especially since one has recently been almost completely restored to airworthiness they just need the left-handed prop to take her up I believe.

I really wish that Mr. Tamiya would release the Blazing Blazer. It’s a tru stunner and a highly wanted model every time there is one listed on eBay tamiya fans go wild. I always wanted the Blazing Blazer every since I laid my eyes on it 20 years ago and fans snatch theme no sooner than I can save up for one.
The bruiser is a great re-release, however I write to Tamiya to release this most wanted 3 speed often not only for me but others as welI. I only hope that they will respond and release this vehicle.

With the release of the T55 Enigma and the future release of the M1A2 Abrams SEP Tusk 2, I would really love to see an Iraqi T62 with the rubber side skirts and armored searchlight covers. Also a Type 69 -2 with the boom shield slat armor based on the fantastic T55 kit but with the correct engine deck and transmission bulge at the bottom of the hull!

Update the 1/350 USS Enterprise CVN-65 kit to how she has looked for the last few years up to her retirement this past Dec. The basic kit as it is now will work for the update, it would just require a few additions/modifications. Like communication domes, radars, weapons platforms, weapons, & the RHIB deck to name the ones I know about. I’d be happy to send you photos of the above mentioned additions/modifications…

More US Naval ships! Tamiya was once the go-to place ships for, but not so much anymore. The Enterprise/Hornet mold is older than I am, and Tamiya had a chance to fix it when they release the Yorktown, but big flipping surprise, it was the same thing! Time to invest in a up-to-date, accurate mold of the Yorktown class aircraft carriers. Lets get a proper CV-6 Enterprise, heaven knows it would certainly sell, in either 1/350 or 1/700. People will see Trumpeters 1/200 Hornet in 2 years and think thats a bit big and expensive, if only someone made something just as good in a smaller scale. The modeling community has their hands out, screaming “take my money!” for an accurate yorktown class carrier in plastic.

I would like to see an accurate 1/32 P-51B and Dornier 335. Some 1/32 scale softskins would be nice also, such as an AEC Matador Fuel tanker and Austin K2 Ambulance.
A new tool 1/350 Essex class Carrier and if I can be greedy a new tool 1/350 Yorktown class too.

I do wish that the Top Force evolution and Dyna Storm would be re-released. My original models are now to fragile to run.
I am very grateful that the Egress was re-released (I just got mine a few days ago). Thank you from a 25 year devoted fan.

Well, I can’t speak of behalf of Tamiya but for me and many others it wasn’t something special, just the cheapo version of the lovely original AV. Also the sport tuned motor was nothing special, no comparison to the Technigold. Also Vanquish should be counted to that family, so its not really the last.

That car was the first Avante (they were only 2 then in 1990) that was perfect out of the box, it was very fast, high performance, and stable! Something the original Avante was not, plus it wasnt’t prone to breaking I still have my Avante 2001 from then and its excellent! I really want another..okay I will say it -its my favourite Tamiya car along with the old Hotshot from way back in 1985.
(I have 34 Tamiya R/C kits-been collecting since the mid 1980’s to present day)
The styling on the 2001 is to my taste even better!
I really hope they re-release it.
Fair enough Vanquish, but not one for me-just want the Avante family!!-I have all of them, just want a brand new AVANTE 2001 with the new improvements etc.

Well tastes are personal (I have quite a “few” Tamiya kits myself 😉 ) and for real racing also the 2001 was as useless as the original. For me the Vanquish belongs as much to the family as the Egress.
